Is it okay to root for the Broncos in the Super Bowl so Manning might retire? I have conflicting feelings here :/

It's pretty much where I'm at. And it's something Scar and I talked about at length on Twitter (as much as you can have "at length" discussions on Twitter) the other day. Peyton is far, far more image-conscious than Brady is, so if he gets ring #2 and has the opportunity to go out on top (SB win, all the records, going out like Elway) with a built-in excuse that's not him say "I can't hack it anymore" (read: "I don't want my final note to be performing below others at my position") which this doctor's check-up on his neck after the season gives him (Holy run-on sentence, Batman!)... in short, it would fit Peyton to take that out._________________

I have no mixed feelings on it. I am actively hoping the Broncos win the Superbowl. It gives us a guarantees 2 games next year against a championship caliber team. Two games against the team that we beat the year prior. That could be our trophy. We deserve that trophy we must exterminate all that stand in the way next year on our way to that trophy.
